Mahabharata Classes for Kids in Portland
The Mahabharata, where nobody is simply right
The Mahabharata is the harder epic and the more useful one. Almost every character does something indefensible, and the text does not tidy it up. For a child of ten or twelve, that is exactly the point — it is the first story they meet where the good people are also wrong, which is how the rest of life turns out to work.

The Mahabharata, where nobody is simply right
This class is not the Ramayana with different names. The Ramayana shows a child what an ideal looks like; the Mahabharata shows what happens when ideals collide. We recommend it from about eight upwards, and it is deliberately more argumentative than anything else we teach.
